SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Electric Shock Prevention

WARNING! While power is on or when the inverter is running, do not open the front cover.

You may get an electric shock.! Do not run the inverter with the front cover removed. Otherwise, you may access

the exposed high-voltage terminals or the charging part of the circuitry and get anelectric shock.

! If power is off, do not remove the front cover except for wiring or periodicinspection. You may access the charged inverter circuits and get an electricshock.

! Before starting wiring or inspection, switch power off, wait for more than 10minutes, and check for residual voltage with a meter (refer to chapter 2 for furtherdetails) etc.

! Earth the inverter.! Any person who is involved in the wiring or inspection of this equipment should be

fully competent to do the work.! Always install the inverter before wiring. Otherwise, you may get an electric shock

or be injured.! Operate the switches and potentiometers with dry hands to prevent an electric

shock.! Do not subject the cables to scratches, excessive stress, heavy loads or pinching.

Otherwise, you may get an electric shock.! Do not change the cooling fan while power is on.

It is dangerous to change the cooling fan while power is on.! While power is on, do not move the station number and baudrate setting switches.

Doing so can cause an electric shock.

2. Fire Prevention

CAUTION! Mount the inverter and brake resistor on an incombustible surface. Installing the

inverter directly on or near a combustible surface could lead to a fire.! If the inverter has become faulty, switch off the inverter power. A continuous flow

of large current could cause a fire.! When a brake resistor is used, use an alarm signal to switch power off.

Otherwise, the brake resistor will overheat abnormally due a brake transistor orother fault, resulting in a fire.

! Do not connect a resistor directly to the DC terminals P (+), N (−). This couldcause a fire.

A - 3

3. Injury Prevention

CAUTION! Apply only the voltage specified in the instruction manual to each terminal to

prevent damage etc.! Ensure that the cables are connected to the correct terminals. Otherwise,

damage etc. may occur.! Always make sure that polarity is correct to prevent damage etc.! While power is on and for some time after power-off, do not touch the inverter or

brake resistor as they are hot and you may get burnt.

4. Additional instructions

Also note the following points to prevent an accidental failure, injury, electric shock, etc.

(1) Transportation and installation

CAUTION! When carrying products, use correct lifting gear to prevent injury.! Do not stack the inverter boxes higher than the number recommended.! Ensure that installation position and material can withstand the weight of the

inverter. Install according to the information in the Instruction Manual.! Do not operate if the inverter is damaged or has parts missing.! Do not hold the inverter by the front cover or operation panel; it may fall off.! Do not stand or rest heavy objects on the inverter.! Check the inverter mounting orientation is correct.! Prevent screws, wire fragments or other conductive bodies or oil or other

flammable substance from entering the inverter.! Do not drop the inverter, or subject it to impact.! Use the inverter under the following environmental conditions:

*Temperatures applicable for a short time, e.g. in transit.

A - 4

(2) Wiring

CAUTION! Do not fit capacitive equipment such as a power factor correction capacitor,

radio noise filter or surge suppressor to the output of the inverter.! The connection orientation of the output cables U, V, W to the motor will affect

the direction of rotation of the motor.

(3) Trial run

CAUTION! Check all parameters, and ensure that the machine will not be damaged by a

sudden start-up.

(4) Operation

WARNING! When you have chosen the retry function, stay away from the equipment as it

will restart suddenly after an alarm stop.! The load used should be a three-phase induction motor only. Connection of any

other electrical equipment to the inverter output may damage the equipment.! Do not modify the equipment.

A - 5

CAUTION! The electronic overcurrent protection does not guarantee protection of the motor

from overheating.! Do not use a magnetic contactor on the inverter input for frequent

starting/stopping of the inverter.! Use a noise filter to reduce the effect of electromagnetic interference. Otherwise

nearby electronic equipment may be affected.! Take measures to suppress harmonics. Otherwise power harmonics from the

inverter may heat/damage the power capacitor and generator.! When parameter clear or all clear is performed, each parameter returns to the

factory setting. Re-set the required parameters before starting operation.! The inverter can be easily set for high-speed operation. Before changing its

setting, fully examine the performances of the motor and machine.! In addition to the inverter's holding function, install a holding device to ensure

safety.! Before running an inverter which had been stored for a long period, always

perform inspection and test operation.

(5) Emergency stop

CAUTION! Provide a safety backup such as an emergency brake which will prevent the

machine and equipment from hazardous conditions if the inverter fails.

(6) Maintenance, inspection and parts replacement

CAUTION! Do not carry out a megger (insulation resistance) test on the control circuit of the

inverter.

(7) Disposing of the inverter

CAUTION! Treat as industrial waste.

(8) General instructionsMany of the diagrams and drawings in this instruction manual show the inverterwithout a cover, or partially open. Never operate the inverter in this manner. Alwaysreplace the cover and follow this instruction manual when operating the inverter.

2 INSTALLATION AND WIRING2.1 Installation2.1.1 Instructions for installation

When mounting any of the FR-E520-0.1KN to 0.75KN, remove the accessory cover,front cover and wiring cover.

1) Handle the unit carefully.The inverter uses plastic parts. Handle it gently to protect it from damage.Also, hold the unit with even strength and do not apply too much strength to the frontcover alone.

2) Install the inverter in a place where it is not affected by vibration easily (5.9m/s2

maximum.).Note the vibration of a cart, press, etc.

3) Note on ambient temperature.The inverter life is under great influence of ambient temperature. In the place ofinstallation, the ambient temperature must be within the permissible range -10°C to+50°C. Check that the ambient temperature is within the permissible range in thepositions shown in Fig. 3).

4) Install the inverter on a non-combustible surface.The inverter will be very hot (maximum about 150°C). Install it on a non-combustiblesurface (e.g. metal). Also leave sufficient clearances around the inverter.

5) Avoid high temperatures and high humidity.Avoid direct sunlight and places of high temperature and high humidity.

6) Avoid places where the inverter is exposed to oil mist, flammable gases, fluff, dust,dirt etc.Install the inverter in a clean place or inside a "totally enclosed" panel which doesnot accept any suspended matter.

7) Note the cooling method when the inverter is installed in an enclosure.When two or more inverters are installed or a ventilation fan is mounted in anenclosure, the inverters and ventilation fan must be installed in proper positions withextreme care taken to keep the ambient temperatures of the inverters with thepermissible values. If they are installed in improper positions, the ambienttemperatures of the inverters will rise and ventilation effect will be reduced.

8) Install the inverter securely in the vertical direction with screws or bolts.

2.2.2 Wiring of the Main Circuit

(1) Wiring instructions

1) It is recommended to use insulation-sleeved solderless terminals for power supplyand motor wiring.

2) Power must not be applied to the output terminals (U, V, W) of the inverter.Otherwise the inverter will be damaged.

3) After wiring, wire off-cuts must not be left in the inverter.Wire off-cuts can cause an alarm, failure or malfunction. Always keep the inverterclean.When drilling mounting holes in a control box or the like, be careful so that chips andothers do not enter the inverter.

4) Use thick cables to make the voltage drop 2% or less.If the wiring distance is long between the inverter and motor, a main circuit cablevoltage drop will cause the motor torque to decrease, especially at the output of alow frequency. (A selection example for the wiring length of 20m is shown on page18.)

5) For long distance wiring, the overcurrent protection may be activated improperly orthe devices connected to the output side may misoperate or become faulty underthe influence of a charging current due to the stray capacitance of the wiring.Therefore, the maximum overall wiring length should be as indicated in the followingtable. If the wiring length exceeds the value, it is recommended to set "1" in Pr. 156to make the fast-response current limit function invalid. (When two or more motorsare connected to the inverter, the total wiring length should be within the indicatedvalue.)

6) Connect only the recommended optional brake resistor between the terminalsP-PR (+-PR). Keep terminals P-PR (+-PR) of 0.1K or 0.2K open.These terminals must not be shorted.0.1K and 0.2K do not accept the brake resistor. Keep terminals P-PR (+-PR) open.Also, never short these terminals.

7) Electromagnetic wave interferenceThe input/output (main circuit) of the inverter includes harmonic components, whichmay interfere with the communication devices (such as AM radios) used near theinverter. In this case, install the FR-BIF optional radio noise filter (for use in the inputside only) or FR-BSF01 or FR-BLF line noise filter to minimize interference.

8) Do not install a power capacitor, surge suppressor or radio noise filter (FR-BIFoption) in the output side of the inverter.This will cause the inverter to trip or the capacitor and surge suppressor to bedamaged. If any of the above devices are installed, immediately remove them.(When using the FR-BIF radio noise filter with a single-phase power supply, connectit to the input side of the inverter after isolating the T phase securely.)

9) When rewiring after operation, make sure that the POWER lamp has gone off, andwhen more than 10 minutes has elapsed after power-off, check with a meter etc.that the voltage is zero. After that, start rewiring work. For some time after power-off,there is a dangerous voltage in the capacitor.

Notes on Grounding

" Leakage currents flow in the inverter. To prevent an electric shock, the inverterand motor must be grounded.

" Use the dedicated ground terminal to ground the inverter. (Do not use the screwin the case, chassis, etc.)

" The ground cable should be as thick as possible. Its gauge should be equal to orlarger than those indicated in the following table. The grounding point should beas near as possible to the inverter to minimize the ground cable length.

To meet the Low Voltage Directive, use PVC insulated cables larger thanspecified size in brackets ( ).

" Ground the motor on the inverter side using one wire of the 4-core cable.

2.2.3 Wiring of the control circuit

(1) Wiring instructions1) Terminals SD are common terminals for I/O signals. These common terminals must

not be earthed to the ground.

2) Use shielded or twisted cables for connection to the control circuit terminals and runthem away from the main and power circuits (including the 200V relay sequencecircuit).

3) The frequency input signals to the control circuit are micro currents. When contactsare required, use two or more parallel micro signal contacts or a twin contact toprevent a contact fault.

4) It is recommended to use the cables of 0.3mm2 to 0.75mm2 gauge for connection tothe control circuit terminals.

5) When bar terminals and solid wires are used for wiring, their diameters should be0.9mm maximum If they are larger, the screw threads may be damaged duringtightening.

(2) Terminal block layoutIn the control circuit of the inverter, the terminals are arranged as shown below:Terminal screw size: M2.5

(3) Wiring method

1) For wiring the control circuit, use cables after stripping their sheaths.Refer to the gauge printed on the inverter and strip the sheaths to the followingdimensions. If the sheath is stripped too much, its cable may be shorted with theadjoining cable. If the sheath is stripped too little, the cable may come off.

7mm±1mm

2) When using bar terminals and solid wires for wiring, their diameters should be0.9mm maximum. If they are larger, the threads may be damaged during tightening.

3) Loosen the terminal screw and insert the cable into the terminal.

4) Tighten the screw to the specified torque.Undertightening can cause cable disconnection or misoperation. Overtightening cancause damage to the screw or unit, leading to short circuit or misoperation.

Tightening torque: 0.25 N⋅m to 0.49 N⋅m* Use a size 0 screwdriver.

Note : When routing the stripped cables, twist them so that they do not become loose.In addition, do not solder it.

(4) Control logic changing

The input signal logic is factory-set to the sink mode.To change the control logic, the position of the connector beside the control circuitterminal block must be changed.

1) Using tweezers etc. to remove the connector in the sink logic position and fit it in thesource logic position.Do this position changing before switching power on.


22

Note:1. Make sure that the front cover has been installed securely.2. The front cover has a capacity plate and the inverter a rating plate on it.

Since these plates have the same serial numbers, always reinstall theremoved cover to the inverter from where it was removed.

3. Always install the sink-source logic changing connector in either of thepositions. If two connectors are installed in these positions at the same time,the inverter may be damaged.

2) Sink logic type! In this logic, a signal switches on when a current flows out of the corresponding

2.2.7 Design information

1) Provide electrical and mechanical interlocks for MC1 and MC2 which are used forcommercial power supply-inverter switch-over.When there is a commercial power supply-inverter switch-over circuit as shownbelow, the inverter will be damaged by leakage current from the power supply due toarcs generated at the time of switch-over or chattering caused by a sequence error.

2) If the machine must not be restarted when power is restored after a power failure,provide a magnetic contactor in the inverter's primary circuit and also make up asequence which will not switch on the start signal.If the start signal (start switch) remains on after a power failure, the inverter willautomatically restart as soon as the power is restored.

3) Since the input signals to the control circuit are on a low level, use two or moreparallel micro signal contacts or a twin contact for contact inputs to prevent a contactfault.

4) Do not apply a voltage to the contact input terminals of the control circuit.

5) Always apply a voltage to the alarm output signal terminals (A, B, C) via a relay coil,lamp, etc.

6) Make sure that the specifications and rating match the system requirements.

2.3.1 Power supply harmonics

Power supply harmonics may be generated from the converter section of the inverter,affecting the power supply equipment, power capacitor etc. Power supply harmonicsare different in generation source, frequency band and transmission path from radiofrequency (RF) noise and leakage currents. Take the following measures.

"""" The differences between harmonics and RF noises are indicated below:

Examples ofsafeguard

"""" Countermeasures

The harmonic current generated from theinverter to the power supply differsaccording to various conditions such as thewiring impedance, whether a power factorimproving reactor is used or not, and outputfrequency and output current on load side.For the output frequency and output current,the adequate method is to obtain themunder rated load at the maximum operatingfrequency.

Note: A power factor improving capacitor and surge suppressor on the inverter'soutput side may overheat or be damaged due to the harmonics of the inverteroutput. Also, when an overcurrent flows in the inverter, the overcurrentprotection is activated. Hence, when the motor is driven by the inverter, donot install a capacitor or surge suppressor on the inverter's output side. Toimprove the power factor, insert a power factor improving reactor in theinverter's input or DC circuit. For details, refer to the FR-A500/E500 seriestechnical information.

2.3.2 Japanese harmonic suppression guideline

Harmonic currents flow from the inverter to a power receiving point via a powertransformer. The harmonic suppression guideline was established to protect otherconsumers from these outgoing harmonic currents.1) "Harmonic suppression guideline for household appliances and general-purpose

products"This guideline was issued by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (formerlyMinistry of International Trade and Industry) in September, 1994 and applies to 3-phase 200V class inverters of 3.7kW or less. By installing the FR-BEL or FR-BALpower factor improving reactor, inverters comply with the "harmonic suppressiontechniques for transistorized inverters (input current 20A or less)" established by theJapan Electrical Manufacturers' Association. Therefore install the optional reactor forthe 3-phase 200V class, 3.7kW or less inverter.

2) "Harmonic suppression guideline for specific consumers"This guideline sets forth the maximum values of harmonic currents outgoing from ahigh-voltage or specially high-voltage consumer who will install, add or renewharmonic generating equipment. If any of the maximum values is exceeded, thisguideline requires that consumer to take certain suppression measures.

1) Calculation of equivalent capacity (P0) of harmonic generating equipmentThe "equivalent capacity" is the capacity of a 6-pulse converter converted from thecapacity of consumer's harmonic generating equipment and is calculated with thefollowing equation. If the sum of equivalent capacities is higher than the limit inTable 3, harmonics must be calculated with the following procedure:

P0=Σ (Ki × Pi) [kVA]Ki : Conversion factor (refer to Table 2)Pi : Rated capacity of harmonic

generating equipment* [kVA]i : Number indicating the conversion

circuit type

*Rated capacity: Determined by the capacityof the applied motor and found in Table 5. Itshould be noted that the rated capacity usedhere is used to calculate a generatedharmonic amount and is different from thepower supply capacity required for actualinverter drive.

2) Calculation of outgoing harmonic currentOutgoing harmonic current = fundamental wave current (value converterd from received

power voltage) × operation ratio × harmonic content• Operation ratio: Operation ratio = actual load factor × operation time ratio

during 30 minutes• Harmonic content: Found in Table 4.

Note: When a motor of 3.7kW or less capacity is driven by a transistorized inverter ofmore than 3.7kW. For example, when a 3.7kW or less motor is driven by a5.5kW transistorized inverter, the transistorized inverter is not the target of thehousehold appliances/general-purpose products guideline, but because theymust be included in the calculation of the harmonic current of the guideline, thefundamental wave input currents are indicated.

3) Harmonic suppression technique requirementIf the outgoing harmonic current is higher than; maximum value per 1kW (contractpower) × contract power, a harmonic suppression technique is required.

2.3.3 Inverter-generated noise and reduction techniques

Some noises enter the inverter causing it to incorrectly operate, and others areradiated by the inverter causing misoperation of peripheral devices. Though theinverter is designed to be insusceptible to noise, it handles low-level signals, so itrequires the following basic measures to be taken. Also, since the inverter chops theoutput at high carrier frequencies, it could generate noise. If these noises causeperipheral devices to misoperate, measures should be taken to suppress noise. Themeasures differ slightly depending on noise propagation paths.

1) Basic measures! Do not run the power cables (I/O cables) and signal cables of the inverter in

parallel with each other and do not bundle them.! Use twisted shield cables for the detector connecting and control signal cables

and connect the sheathes of the shield cables to terminal SD.! Ground the inverter, motor, etc. at one point.

2) Measures against noise which enters and causes misoperation of the inverterWhen devices which generate noise (devices which use magnetic contactors,magnetic brakes, many relays, for example) are installed near the inverter, theinverter may misoperate due to noise. The following measures must be taken:! Provide surge suppressors for devices that generate noise to suppress noise.! Fit data line filters to signal cables. (Refer to page 39)! Ground the shields of the detector connection and control signal cables with cable

clamp metal.2


37

3) Measures against noises which are radiated by the inverter causing misoperation ofperipheral devices.Inverter-generated noises are largely classified into those radiated by the cablesconnected to the inverter and inverter main circuit (I/O), those electromagneticallyand electrostatically inducted to the signal cables of the peripheral devices close tothe main circuit power supply, and those transmitted through the power supplycables.

Noise Path Measures

1), 2), 3)

When devices which handle low-level signals and are susceptible tomisoperation due to noise (such as instruments, receivers and sensors)are installed near the inverter and their signal cables are contained in thesame panel as the inverter or are run near the inverter, the devices maybe misoperated by air-propagated noise and the following measures mustbe taken:(1) Install easily affected devices as far away as possible from the

inverter.(2) Run easily affected signal cables as far away as possible from the

inverter.(3) Do not run the signal cables and power cables (inverter I/O cables) in

parallel with each other and do not bundle them.(4) Insert line noise filters onto I/O and radio noise filters into inputs to

suppress cable-radiated noises.(5) Use shielded cables for signal cables and power cables and run them

in individual metal conduits to further reduce effects.

4), 5), 6)

When the signal cables are run in parallel with or bundled with the powercables, magnetic and static induction noises may be propagated to thesignal cables causing misoperation of the devices and the followingmeasures must be taken:(1) Install easily affected devices as far away as possible from the

inverter.(2) Run easily affected signal cables as far away as possible from the

inverter.(3) Do not run the signal cables and power cables (inverter I/O cables) in

parallel with each other and do not bundle them.(4) Use shielded cables for signal cables and power cables and run them

in individual metal conduits to further reduce effects.

7)

When the power supplies of the peripheral devices are connected to thepower supply of the inverter within the same line, inverter-generated noisemay flow back through the power supply cables causing misoperation ofthe devices and the following measures must be taken:(1) Install the radio noise filter (FR-BIF) to the power cables (input cables)

of the inverter.(2) Install the line noise filter (FR-BLF, FR-BSF01) to the power cables

(I/O cables) of the inverter.

8)

When a closed loop circuit is formed by connecting the peripheral devicewiring to the inverter, leakage current may flow through the ground cableof the inverter causing misoperation of the device. In such a case,disconnection of the ground cable of the device may cause the device tooperate properly.

"""" Data line filter

Noise entry can be prevented by providing a data line filter for the detector or othercable.

"""" Data examples

By decreasing the carrier frequency, thenoise terminal voltage* can be reduced.Use Pr. 72 to set the carrier frequency toa low value (1kHz).Though motor noise increases at a lowcarrier frequency, selection of Soft-PWMwill make it unoffending.

By using shielded cables as signal cables,induction noise can be reduced greatly (1/10 to1/100). Induction noise can also be reduced bymoving the signal cables away from the inverteroutput cables.(Separation of 30cm reduces noise to 1/2 to 1/3.)By fitting the FR-BSF01 or BLF on the inverteroutput side, induction noise to the signal cablescan be reduced.

2.3.4 Leakage currents and countermeasures

Due to the static capacitance existing in the inverter I/O wiring and motor, leakagecurrents flow through them. Since their values depend on the static capacitance, carrierfrequency, etc., take the following measures.

(1) To-ground leakage currents

Leakage currents may flow not only into the inverter's own line but also into the otherlines through the ground cable, etc. These leakage currents may operate earth leakagecircuit breakers and earth leakage relays unnecessarily.

"""" Countermeasures

! If the carrier frequency setting is high, decrease the carrier frequency (Pr. 72) ofthe inverter.Note that motor noise increases. Selection of Soft-PWM (Pr. 240) will make itunoffending.

! By using earth leakage circuit breakers designed for harmonic and surgesuppression (e.g. Mitsubishi's Progressive Super Series) in the inverter's own lineand other line, operation can be performed with the carrier frequency kept high(with low noise).

"""" To-ground leakage current

! Note that a long wiring length will increase leakage currents. Decrease the carrierfrequency of the inverter to reduce leakage currents.

! Higher motor capacity leads to larger leakage currents.

(2) Line-to-line leakage currents

Harmonics of leakage currents flowing in static capacities between the inverter outputcables may operate the external thermal relay unnecessarily.
